Grateful

A couple weeks ago, during one of our summer storms, we had a limb break off one of the trees in the goat yard.  And yes, it fell on the fence!  My husband has been saying that the tree it fell from needed to come down for quite come time (it was dying and rotted at the top) - but, fence was in the way.  Well I guess there is no better time than the present, fence was already down.  Here are some pictures of the tree (silly me didn't think to grab the camera until after the tree was down.
Grateful that my children love to be involved with what is going on and that they love to be outside.  Here Sam & Josh are playing on their own "trampoline" as Sam called it.  As she said it I was thinking 'redneck trampoline'.

Grateful for the 15 minutes or so that Peter let someone else hold him.  Grateful for my Mother-in-law who is seemingly always willing to help me out with the children.

Grateful for my hubby.  In many ways, but that he is able to take care of things like this.  The tree was taken care of, the fence was repaired!  And even though I was against it at the time, grateful for his tractor - it has been very helpful around the place.  And I think it's kinda sexy...lol!


Look at how big that thing is!  You should have heard it come down!  Grateful that no one and none of the animals were hurt when the limb came down or when they felled the tree.

Grateful for my in-laws!  If my hubby can't take care of it himself, one of his two brothers is usually able to take care of it.  I am very blessed to have not only intelligent, but very helpful, and dare I say caring family.

Her is my biggest little man playing in the saw dust that was left on the tree stump. If we had let him he would have been trying to chop it down with his Daddy and Uncles.  But, it gives you an idea of the size of the tree.

Not the Momma I thought

This was written January of 2014 Last night I baked cookies with my doodle.  My youngest girl, my sweet Sam.  I didn't do it because I wanted to.  I didn't do it because I had a hankering for something sweet.  I did it because I didn't want her to ask me anymore.  You see my oldest decided she wanted to make cookies for another Awana club on Sunday.  We got the chocolate chips.  Had her pull the ingredients down.  Showed her where the recipe was on the bag.  Told her to have fun, she was on her own.  This "was her thing".  The two oldest made cookies.  Sweet Sam was left out.  Since, my sweet doodle has been begging (at times whining) to make cookies, cause this Momma promised we would.  She was right.  I promised.  I didn't give an exact day or time.  I don't know how I will feel from one moment to the next with these crazy pregnancy hormones.  And h...

The Countdown Begins...

It has been a very hectic past few months. My oldest is now 6 and my middle child is 3, oh me, time is going by way too quickly! All followed up by my youngest turning 1 in October. eek! So the countdown started yesterday. I gave notice and my last day working outside of my home will be June 30th. Yes a long notice...but I felt like it was necessary. Even more necessary is for me to take on my God given role to raise up my children in the way they should go. I am excited and yet nervous. I am coming home to be a worker in my home - to the most important job that I could ever do! I definitely don't want to mess it up. So not only is the long notice for my current boss, but also so that I can prepare myself for all that awaits me. Things will definitely be changing in our household, but I am sure that they will all be for the better so long as we keep our gaze on Him.

Happy Birthday to me!

Actually it was yesterday but I'm just now getting around to writing about it. It was not quite as eventful as birthdays when I was a kid. They never seem to be anymore. The last one that a fuss was made over was 18 (I didn't do the whole "21" thing). These years they just seem to come and go like about everyother day, with the added benefit of dinner out. This one has definietly made memorable. It really was a great day depending on what perspective you take. I must say last year I wouldn't have looked on it all with such optimism. It started with breakfast with Belle and Cinderalla at Chick-fil-a. And of course my three most precious princesses were there to enjoy it with me. I even talked my hubby into coming and being our photographer for the morning. We made tiaras and the girls had their nails painted. Then they played in the Princess Bounce House. It was some very enjoyable girl time. After breakfast we went to Michaels. I haven't been th...
